Vang currently faces five charges - one of using a forged document and four of possessing criminal benefits worth S$2.4 million from unlicensed moneylending in China.
The 42-year-old Turk with multiple passports was arrested on Aug 15 this year, said Mr Teh Yee Liang of the Singapore Police Force’s Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) in his affidavit.
Two days after this, while Vang was remanded, more than US$2.8 million worth of cryptocurrencies was withdrawn from his Binance account.
"Information gathered suggests that the movement of assets was by a person of interest after the accused had been arrested," said Mr Teh.
Vang is linked to three other wanted suspects who are on the run, including his brother.

Mr Teh said CAD had not known of these assets initially, and was alerted to them only after receiving information from "foreign authorities".
Mr Teh said the overall quantum of cryptocurrency assets is believed to amount to more than US$30 million and investigations on this front are ongoing.
"This further strengthens my belief that the accused has connections and assets to allow him to relocate outside of Singapore, despite the seizure of his local assets, should he be released on bail," said Mr Teh.
More than S$200 million in assets linked to Vang have been seized in Singapore.
According to Mr Teh, this comprises S$962,000 in cash, S$128.8 million in his bank accounts, S$5.5 million in his wife's bank accounts, 15 properties worth S$104.8 million in his wife's name but funded by him and three vehicles worth S$3.4 million in his wife's name but funded by him.

Vang Shuiming, a 42-year-old Turkish national, was arrested in a GCB along Bishopsgate in the Tanglin area. (CNA) SINGAPORE: More than US$2.8 million (S$3.8 million) in cryptocurrencies from a suspect’s account was withdrawn.
This info came in an affidavit by the IO tendered to the court in support of the prosecution’s objection to bail for Vang Shuiming on Friday (Sep 29).
Vang 42-year-old Turk with multiple passports was arrested on Aug 15 2023. Mr Teh said the overall quantum of cryptocurrency assets is believed to amount to more than US$30m.
Vang relocated to Singapore with his wife, son and daughter in 2019, and his children are attending international schools, the court heard.
He has substantial wealth and assets overseas, said the IO. This includes an estimated 32 million yuan (US$4.4 million) worth of investments in Chinese private companies, US$18 million worth of land plots in Cambodia, US$500,000 of investments in Turkey, two condominium units in Xiamen, China, worth 20 million yuan, HK$2 million in a bank account in Hong Kong and US$110,000 worth of USDT or Tether tokens.
In response to Vang's arguing that his parents were "not physically mobile" in his bid for bail, Mr Teh pointed to travel records.
These showed that Vang's parents recently travelled out of Singapore, returning from Hong Kong via a private jet in March this year.
Vang was ultimately denied bail, and his lawyers said he intended to contest his charges.

SINGAPORE: The 10 people who have been arrested and charged in relation to a multi-billion dollar money laundering probe all hold either employment passes or dependent’s passes in Singapore, and none had been on Interpol’s list of red notices at the time of their application for these passes, Second Minister for Home Affairs Josephine Teo said on Tuesday (Oct 3).
Interpol, an international police body, issues red notices to ask law enforcement officials around the world to locate and provisionally arrest a person, pending extradition, surrender or similar legal action.
Mrs Teo, who is also Minister for Communication and Information, was delivering a ministerial statement in parliament in response to questions from Members of Parliament (MPs), some of which related to how the 10 suspects had entered Singapore and obtained immigration passes.

The 10 people who have been charged have all been denied bail, with prosecutors saying that the suspects have high flight risks and could collude to contaminate evidence.
In her speech, Mrs Teo also updated parliament on the latest details of the case, saying that the total value of assets seized or issued with prohibition of disposal orders by the police now stands at more than S$2.8 billion (US$2.04 billion).
This is nearly three times the S$1 billion that was announced by the police when the case broke in August, before the police updated on Sep 20 that the amount had grown to more than S$2.4 billion.

When the police first announced the arrest on Aug 15, they had said that another 12 people are assisting with investigations and eight others are currently wanted by the police.
FINANCIAL HUBS MORE VULNERABLE TO MONEY LAUNDERING
On Tuesday, Mrs Teo also made the point that it is Singapore’s status as a major financial hub that also makes it an attractive target to money launderers.
The finance sector contributes about 14 per cent of Singapore’s economy and employs about 200,000 people, making it an important industry here.

"When we open for business - and we have to be - criminals will also try to exploit the same economic openness and our strong reputation for rule of law, to launder their illicit funds, and create the appearance of legitimacy," she said.
Singapore handles massive volumes of transactions every day, she noted, and this sheer volume provides "easy camouflage" for illicit activities.
She outlined just how often suspicious transactions are flagged here as a result: The Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office, a body under the Singapore Police Force that focuses on financial intelligence, received an average of 43,000 suspicious transaction reports annually from 2020 to 2022, or more than 150 every working day.
In the same period, at least 240 people were convicted of money laundering offences, largely related to laundering domestic scam proceeds, and some S$1.2 billion worth of assets were seized.

Mrs Teo pointed to two other major money laundering probes that Singapore undertook, which resulted in serious enforcement action:
One is the 1MDB case, which resulted in the seizure or prohibition of assets amounting to more than S$240 million, the conviction of four bankers, including one who was sentenced to more than four years of imprisonment and the shutting down of two private banks.
The other is the Wirecard case. Following a probe into irregularities in the German company's financial statements, which involved of Singapore-based individuals and entities, three banks and an insurer in Singapore were issued penalties amounting to S$3.8 million, seven individuals were charged and three of them have been convicted for offences including money laundering.
"These examples leave no doubt that Singapore takes money laundering seriously,” Mrs Teo said.
"When there is reasonable suspicion to investigate, we do not hesitate to do so. We do not turn a blind eye to any risks, when we become aware of them."
She also noted that if no cases were to be reported, that is not necessarily a sign that there are no money laundering offences occurring in the system.

At the State Courts on Wednesday, the debate about Su's bail request lasted for over two hours.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Eric Hu told the court that Su's extremely high flight risk is evident on the day of arrest when police officers came to his house. Su fractured his heels, femur and wrist during his escape, according to his defence counsel previously.
"He took flight," said Mr Hu. "He fled from his balcony and despite breaking both legs and injuring his wrist, he still mastered the will to hide in a drain, just outside his house."
Police had also found a photograph of a St Lucien passport belonging to "Su Junjie". This is on top of various passports Su held included a Cambodian and Turkish passport, which have not been recovered by the police.

PROSECUTORS OVERSTATED REASONS FOR DENYING BAIL: DEFENCE
Su's defence counsel, Mr Julian Tay from law firm Lee & Lee, opposed the prosecution's decision for no bail as he argued that the fundamental basis of bail rests on the presumption of innocence.
Mr Tay said that the three points raised by Mr Hu were overstated as there is no evidence that Su intended to flee or has taken any preparatory steps to abscond and make himself unavailable to attend court.
"My client has strong personal and financial connections to Singapore and he has made Singapore his home since 2017," said Mr Tay.
Su's lawyer added that as his "whole village" is practically here in Singapore, Su will not abandon his family members by fleeing Singapore and becoming a fugitive on the run.

Last week, he appeared on Hear U Out and announced a new "wealth loophole" that he said could turn anyone into a millionaire in 3-4 months. Jack Neo urged all Singaporeans to take advantage of this amazing opportunity before the big banks shut it down for good.
And sure enough, minutes after interview was over Royal Bank of Singapore called to stop Jack Neo interview from being aired- it was already too late.
Anotber too late....try not to play play...

Interpol, an international police body, issues red notices to ask law enforcement officials around the world to locate and provisionally arrest a person, pending extradition, surrender or similar legal action.
Mrs Teo, who is also Minister for Communication and Information, was delivering a ministerial statement in parliament in response to questions from Members of Parliament (MPs), some of which related to how the 10 suspects had entered Singapore and obtained immigration passes.
